Personal Statement: I am a performer with focus on improvisation methods and Butoh. Influences by 9 Viewpoints, Action Theatre, Kundalini/Hatha Yoga, Noguchi Taiso, authentic movement. Teachers: Yumiko Yoshioka, Minako Seki, Henriette Heinrichs, Annalisa Maggiani, Maik Riebort). I always work with improvisation methods to find the ultimate way to create the highest possible authenticity on stage. Feelings, also connected to and lively in the body, are main aspects of the process. In my approach, I use "real" material from my life, such as dreams, quotes and statements from people, but then concentrate it so that the audience can have its own interpretation. My former artistic experiences in the field of painting/ drawing, literature, photography and objects/handcraft are also integrated. After a time of realizing solo performances I am focusing more on group work at the moment and also am interested in any offers in this regard.

Current Work
I am still working on three new Butoh pieces. One about suppressed/ wild sexuality, one about the search for the traditions of ancestors in three countries, and one about chaos.
